The repeal of the British income tax will be proposed at the next session of Parliament. It amounts to about two percent., and yields about $5,000,000 per annum. The Gladstone Ministry will lead the movement for the repeal. The first regular Bale of thoroughbred shorthorn cattle in Kansas, took place recently on the premises of Andrew Wilson, near Topeka, and is pronounced the most important event in the history of thoroughbred stock raising that has yet taken place in the State. The sale was very largely attended, and the prices received ranged from $25 up to $700, $900, and even $1000 per head. Mr. Wilson is called the Cattle King of Kansas, and is doing a most important work in promoting profitable stock raising in a State having unsurpassed advantages for that business. Ho owns 2000 acres of land, has leased about 200,000, bought last year 150,000 bushels of corn and a proportionate amount of hay, keeps 75 men in constant employment, is now shipping from SO to 50 car loads of cattle per week, and usually winters 10,000 head. Mr. Wilson began his business with very limited means about six years ago, and has already amassed a princely fortune. Tue action of Democratic members of Congress with reference to the Credit Mo-bilier and salary grabs is not stated in Senator Thurman's Waverly speech. General Boynton, having examined the records on the Bubject, supplies the omission in one of his late Washington letters. Thurman endeavors to convey the impression that Democrats were in no way responsible for the bill doubling the subsidies, of the Pacific railway. General Boynton shows that no Democrat objected to the bill, nono opposed it in any manner whatever, and none voted against it. On the proposition to subrogate the Government lien on the road to a second mortgage, which Thurman regards as worst of all, the Democratic members were about equally divided, twentytwo voting for it, twenty against, and thirtythree dodging. Had the Demerits all voted against the proposition, it would have been defeated. That they did not was perhaps due to the influence of Durant's corruption fund which Senator Thurman would have us believe was nil distributed among Republicans to secure the passage of this measure. Thurman says "there was but one Democrat contaminated In the whole business (Credit Mobilier), and that was Brooks." But it appeared in the Investigation that Democratic Congressman Boyer also received 100 shares, and Boyer himself testified that his only regret was at the small-ncss of the amount. Thurman says Ames approached no Democrat, and for the very good reason, adds Boynton, "that Durant, then Ames' active associate, had attended to the Democratic side." Ames placed 110 shares among nine Republicans of the House, but Durant placed 250 shares with two Democrats. On the back pay question the records of the Senate show that the steal was favored at some stage of its passage by every Democratic Senator, excepting Mr. Thurman only. But three of the Democratic Senators have returned the grab to the Treasury, while twelve have drawn it, and two have left it sub ject to their order.

Ohio Finances. The Newark Advocate of recent date saya: It is an historical as well aa a curious fact that it was largely on a charge of extravagance, that the Kepubucant succeeded In howling down the Democrats in 1855, although at that time all lbs taxes (State, countv, city and township) collected in Ohio, did not amount to nine million dollars. Yet the party which rained that howl against the administration of Governor Medill, has Itself, since attaining power, permitted and fostered the increase of taxation to such an extent that it now reaches the enormous turn of twentyfour millions annually. AVe quote the Advocate because it apparently aims to be a responsible paper, and because its statements, just given, embody what is being reiterated in one form or another by the Democratic press throughout the State." The substance of these statements is, that under Democratic Slate administration we had econominal government, while under Republican administration we have had extravagant government. ' The Advocate also leads ua to infer, as well as it can, that while tax ation has increased since the Republicans came into power, it did not increase while the Democrats were in power. It would also have us believe that the public burdens bear more heavily upon the people now than thev did under Democratic management, It is not difficult to explode these as sumptions The Reports of the State Auditor, which are accessible to every one, readily show their fallacy. From these reports it appears that the increase of taxation while the Democrats were in power was both steady and rapid. In 1852 the amount levied for State purposes was $1,776,537, and in 1855 it was $2,754,-807. Here then wbb an increase of nearly a million of dollars in the short space of three years. Is it any wonder that the Democrats were hounded down, as the Advocate expresses it, when within three years they increased the cost of tho Stato government nearly, sixty per cent.? By 1859, which is about the time the Demo crats ceased to control the State, the levy had reached the sum of $2,997,918, or $1,221,382 more than it wbb in 1852. Now this is a larger proportionate in crease than has taken place during the last thirteen years, the greater part of which time the Republicans have nad control of the State. Last year the levy amounted to $4,414,557, which shows an increase of but $1,416,759 during the last thirteen years, whereas there was an in crease, as we have seen, of $l,221,282dur- ing the preceding seven years under the Democracy. Those seven years, too, were years of peace, when there was no emergency to justify any considerable enlargement of taxation, whereas the Republicans were compelled to provide for extraordinary expenditures occasioned by rebellion, and a Democratic rebellion at that. Furthermore, at the time the Democrats were " hounded down," the public benevolent institutions, which are now the just pride of Ohio, nearly all occupied buildings temporarily provided, and very poorly adapted to their necessities. The splen-dic edifice for the deaf and dumb, the extensive Asylum for the idiotic, have all been erected under Republican administrations. To these should be added the new structures for the Central and Northern Asylums for the insane, destroyed by fire, those for the Girls' Industrial School, also recently burned, and that for the institution for the blind, all now in the course of erection. For these costly structures, in addition to the war expenditures, the Republicans have had to provide, and the reader will readily Bee that the extraordinary expenses thus occasioned are amply sufficient to account for all, and more than, the difference between the cost of the State Government now and its cost thirteen years ago, making no allowance for any increase occasioned by the natural growth of the' State. The pnblio expenditures are therefore relatively less than they were under Democratic rule. So of taxation,the increase of which does not always imply that it becomes at the same time more burdensome. The cost of the Government increases necessarily, just as the cost of living increases, and to reduce- State expenditures to the standard of twenty years ago would make it necessary to discontinue fully one half of the public benevolent institutions, to diminish the Legislature, and to cut down the salaries of all State officers to an utterly impracticable extent. No one will be so foolish as to insist upon such a thing; no one expects it. But what it expected and required is, that public expenditures shall be kept down to the measure of publio necessities and resources. While that is done the amount of expenditure may be considerably enlarged without making the burden of taxation relatively any greater. In proportion to the property of the State it may be even lest, and consequently lest felt by the tax-payer, because spread over a larger surface. In accordance with these observa tions, we find that relatively speaking State taxation is not as high now now as it was eighteen years ago under Democratic management. Then the levy was $2,754,07 on a taxable valuation of $860,877,354; now it it $4,414,637 on a valuation of $1,524,323,118. To put it in another form, the levy in 1355 wat .032 per cent, of the taxable valuation; in 1872 it wat but .029 per cent The rate of the levy in 1855 wat three mills and twotentht per dollar, while in 1872 it was but two and ninetentht. That it to say, the rate it threetentha of a mill lest now than it wat nearly twenty years ago, when the Democratic sceptre was over ot. Another suggestive tact thit may be mentioned right here is, that the taxable valuation of the property of the State was not as large in 1859 at it was in 1854, whereat it hat nearly doubled since 1860. Thit shows a degree of prosperity that it anything bnt discreditable to Republican rale. In what precedes we have referred only to taxes for State purposes, which is the only species of taxation of which the Leg' islature hat absolute control. If local taxes are inordinately increased in any county, township, or city, In nine cases out of ten the local authorities are to blame. Every intelligent taxpayer knows this, and also knows that fourfifths of all ht pays into the treasury of hit county is levied for local purposes and expended for local improvements. The aggregate of taxation on the grand duplicate last year was not twentyfonr millions, as the Newark Advocate states, but $23,248; of which sum $18,834,422 was levied by counties, towns and cities for local pur poses. Only $4,414,557 was levied for State purposes, and of this, it should be borne in mind, that $1,523,354 was levied for the support of common schools, and $1,217,350 for the sinking fund, and the reduotion of the State debt. Only $1,679;' 852 was devoted to the current exnennes. of the State Government. , , These facts show with sufficient clear ness, we think, that Republican finals ciering in Ohio hat not been extravagant, but wise, careful and economical. 1. Of Democratic State administration We have also given some illustrations, but we might mention another a little more re cent. In 1858-'59, the Democratic party had a majority in both branches of the Legislature, and the result was that we had three legislative sessions in a year, and the largest outlay for legislative pur poses ever made in the State. That Leg' islature sat longer than any other that ever convened in Ohio, and passed more partisan and persecuting measures. So far from diminishing public expenditures, it largely increased them, and was com pelled by its own extravagance to add five mills per dollar to the levy for the ex penses of the State government. Remenv bering this as a memorable illustration of Democratic reform, the people of Ohio are not likely to want any more of it. STATE NEWS.

The idea of martial law is not relished by any one. Another prominent lawyer in Owen county asserted tlicro was no established order, and the offenders were merely common thieves and murderers. Owen county authorities say the murder of the negro Whitstone is the only one which has ever taken place in their county. Two of those charged with this murder were acquitted at a preliminary examination, and three others escaped from jail a week ago, though they afterward gave themselves up to the authorities, declaring they could prove an alibi. Their examination is set for to-morrow, and it iB thought they will be bound over. Owen county people assert that all eon-vurneu in run uuuuk uie .uuiidies ui the Federal army.

"Buffalo Bill, King of the Border Men," ia the title of the play produced. It it much more reasonable in Its construction as a play than the one which preceded it at the Atheneum, but of course its main features are displays, in the most sensational style, of thrilling scenes on the border. At produced with the aid of the three original Western heroes, it Is nndonbtedly the most exciting thing now on the stage tinder the name of drama. Mr. Cody (Buffalo Bill) exhibited a dra matic ability last night which hit audi tor! did not expect, and Texas Jack ex hibits bis native grace and dash behind the footlights. But to fully appreciate ths impressive character or Mr. Hickox (Wild Bill), you mutt meet bim face to face, experience his iron grasp, and listen to his quaint philosophy. The three men on the stage together made n splendid picture. , They were called before the cur- tain at the end of the third act, when Mr. Cody made a neat speech, closing with a remark to the effect that they would "get away" with tome more of the renegades in the next act which they did. Mr. Mteder, the author of the play, took a character very creditably, and Miss Rena Maeder, as Kitty Muldoon, was a decided success. In fact, all the ladies in the cast have been judiciously selected. The "Injun" business seems to us to be done principally by white men, but it uon t sutter a particle on that account.

The repeal of the British income tax will be proposed at the next session of Parliament. It amounts to about two percent., and yields about $5,000,000 per annum. The Gladstone Ministry will lead the movement for the repeal. The first regular Bale of thoroughbred shorthorn cattle in Kansas, took place recently on the premises of Andrew Wilson, near Topeka, and is pronounced the most important event in the history of thoroughbred stock raising that has yet taken place in the State. The sale was very largely attended, and the prices received ranged from $25 up to $700, $900, and even $1000 per head. Mr. Wilson is called the Cattle King of Kansas, and is doing a most important work in promoting profitable stock raising in a State having unsurpassed advantages for that business. Ho owns 2000 acres of land, has leased about 200,000, bought last year 150,000 bushels of corn and a proportionate amount of hay, keeps 75 men in constant employment, is now shipping from SO to 50 car loads of cattle per week, and usually winters 10,000 head. Mr. Wilson began his business with very limited means about six years ago, and has already amassed a princely fortune. Tue action of Democratic members of Congress with reference to the Credit Mo-bilier and salary grabs is not stated in Senator Thurman's Waverly speech. General Boynton, having examined the records on the Bubject, supplies the omission in one of his late Washington letters. Thurman endeavors to convey the impression that Democrats were in no way responsible for the bill doubling the subsidies, of the Pacific railway. General Boynton shows that no Democrat objected to the bill, nono opposed it in any manner whatever, and none voted against it. On the proposition to subrogate the Government lien on the road to a second mortgage, which Thurman regards as worst of all, the Democratic members were about equally divided, twentytwo voting for it, twenty against, and thirtythree dodging. Had the Demerits all voted against the proposition, it would have been defeated. That they did not was perhaps due to the influence of Durant's corruption fund which Senator Thurman would have us believe was nil distributed among Republicans to secure the passage of this measure. Thurman says "there was but one Democrat contaminated In the whole business (Credit Mobilier), and that was Brooks." But it appeared in the Investigation that Democratic Congressman Boyer also received 100 shares, and Boyer himself testified that his only regret was at the small-ncss of the amount. Thurman says Ames approached no Democrat, and for the very good reason, adds Boynton, "that Durant, then Ames' active associate, had attended to the Democratic side." Ames placed 110 shares among nine Republicans of the House, but Durant placed 250 shares with two Democrats. On the back pay question the records of the Senate show that the steal was favored at some stage of its passage by every Democratic Senator, excepting Mr. Thurman only. But three of the Democratic Senators have returned the grab to the Treasury, while twelve have drawn it, and two have left it sub ject to their order.

Ohio Finances. The Newark Advocate of recent date saya: It is an historical as well aa a curious fact that it was largely on a charge of extravagance, that the Kepubucant succeeded In howling down the Democrats in 1855, although at that time all lbs taxes (State, countv, city and township) collected in Ohio, did not amount to nine million dollars. Yet the party which rained that howl against the administration of Governor Medill, has Itself, since attaining power, permitted and fostered the increase of taxation to such an extent that it now reaches the enormous turn of twentyfour millions annually. AVe quote the Advocate because it apparently aims to be a responsible paper, and because its statements, just given, embody what is being reiterated in one form or another by the Democratic press throughout the State." The substance of these statements is, that under Democratic Slate administration we had econominal government, while under Republican administration we have had extravagant government. ' The Advocate also leads ua to infer, as well as it can, that while tax ation has increased since the Republicans came into power, it did not increase while the Democrats were in power. It would also have us believe that the public burdens bear more heavily upon the people now than thev did under Democratic management, It is not difficult to explode these as sumptions The Reports of the State Auditor, which are accessible to every one, readily show their fallacy. From these reports it appears that the increase of taxation while the Democrats were in power was both steady and rapid. In 1852 the amount levied for State purposes was $1,776,537, and in 1855 it was $2,754,-807. Here then wbb an increase of nearly a million of dollars in the short space of three years. Is it any wonder that the Democrats were hounded down, as the Advocate expresses it, when within three years they increased the cost of tho Stato government nearly, sixty per cent.? By 1859, which is about the time the Demo crats ceased to control the State, the levy had reached the sum of $2,997,918, or $1,221,382 more than it wbb in 1852. Now this is a larger proportionate in crease than has taken place during the last thirteen years, the greater part of which time the Republicans have nad control of the State. Last year the levy amounted to $4,414,557, which shows an increase of but $1,416,759 during the last thirteen years, whereas there was an in crease, as we have seen, of $l,221,282dur- ing the preceding seven years under the Democracy. Those seven years, too, were years of peace, when there was no emergency to justify any considerable enlargement of taxation, whereas the Republicans were compelled to provide for extraordinary expenditures occasioned by rebellion, and a Democratic rebellion at that. Furthermore, at the time the Democrats were " hounded down," the public benevolent institutions, which are now the just pride of Ohio, nearly all occupied buildings temporarily provided, and very poorly adapted to their necessities. The splen-dic edifice for the deaf and dumb, the extensive Asylum for the idiotic, have all been erected under Republican administrations. To these should be added the new structures for the Central and Northern Asylums for the insane, destroyed by fire, those for the Girls' Industrial School, also recently burned, and that for the institution for the blind, all now in the course of erection. For these costly structures, in addition to the war expenditures, the Republicans have had to provide, and the reader will readily Bee that the extraordinary expenses thus occasioned are amply sufficient to account for all, and more than, the difference between the cost of the State Government now and its cost thirteen years ago, making no allowance for any increase occasioned by the natural growth of the' State. The pnblio expenditures are therefore relatively less than they were under Democratic rule. So of taxation,the increase of which does not always imply that it becomes at the same time more burdensome. The cost of the Government increases necessarily, just as the cost of living increases, and to reduce- State expenditures to the standard of twenty years ago would make it necessary to discontinue fully one half of the public benevolent institutions, to diminish the Legislature, and to cut down the salaries of all State officers to an utterly impracticable extent. No one will be so foolish as to insist upon such a thing; no one expects it. But what it expected and required is, that public expenditures shall be kept down to the measure of publio necessities and resources. While that is done the amount of expenditure may be considerably enlarged without making the burden of taxation relatively any greater. In proportion to the property of the State it may be even lest, and consequently lest felt by the tax-payer, because spread over a larger surface. In accordance with these observa tions, we find that relatively speaking State taxation is not as high now now as it was eighteen years ago under Democratic management. Then the levy was $2,754,07 on a taxable valuation of $860,877,354; now it it $4,414,637 on a valuation of $1,524,323,118. To put it in another form, the levy in 1355 wat .032 per cent, of the taxable valuation; in 1872 it wat but .029 per cent The rate of the levy in 1855 wat three mills and twotentht per dollar, while in 1872 it was but two and ninetentht. That it to say, the rate it threetentha of a mill lest now than it wat nearly twenty years ago, when the Democratic sceptre was over ot. Another suggestive tact thit may be mentioned right here is, that the taxable valuation of the property of the State was not as large in 1859 at it was in 1854, whereat it hat nearly doubled since 1860. Thit shows a degree of prosperity that it anything bnt discreditable to Republican rale. In what precedes we have referred only to taxes for State purposes, which is the only species of taxation of which the Leg' islature hat absolute control. If local taxes are inordinately increased in any county, township, or city, In nine cases out of ten the local authorities are to blame. Every intelligent taxpayer knows this, and also knows that fourfifths of all ht pays into the treasury of hit county is levied for local purposes and expended for local improvements. The aggregate of taxation on the grand duplicate last year was not twentyfonr millions, as the Newark Advocate states, but $23,248; of which sum $18,834,422 was levied by counties, towns and cities for local pur poses. Only $4,414,557 was levied for State purposes, and of this, it should be borne in mind, that $1,523,354 was levied for the support of common schools, and $1,217,350 for the sinking fund, and the reduotion of the State debt. Only $1,679;' 852 was devoted to the current exnennes. of the State Government. , , These facts show with sufficient clear ness, we think, that Republican finals ciering in Ohio hat not been extravagant, but wise, careful and economical. 1. Of Democratic State administration We have also given some illustrations, but we might mention another a little more re cent. In 1858-'59, the Democratic party had a majority in both branches of the Legislature, and the result was that we had three legislative sessions in a year, and the largest outlay for legislative pur poses ever made in the State. That Leg' islature sat longer than any other that ever convened in Ohio, and passed more partisan and persecuting measures. So far from diminishing public expenditures, it largely increased them, and was com pelled by its own extravagance to add five mills per dollar to the levy for the ex penses of the State government. Remenv bering this as a memorable illustration of Democratic reform, the people of Ohio are not likely to want any more of it. STATE NEWS.

A prominent citizen ol Cincinnati who has been spend' ing several days in the Ku-Klux region in Kentucky, returned last night. . He re ports the country quiet and the people ready to talk Ireely about their troubles. They claim that the account of affairs re cently given in letters in the Louisville courier-Journal are much exaggerated, and that the troubles will be stopped by due course of law. ' One prominent lawyer stated that he had uo doubt that there was a large or ganization of Ku-Klux, but many of tuem were respectable citizens, who bad no sympathy with the marauders, and that within ten days full disclosures would be made of the secrets of the order, and those who have repented of their connection with it would assist in suppressing disorders. The idea of martial law is not relished by any one. Another prominent lawyer in Owen county asserted tlicro was no established order, and the offenders were merely common thieves and murderers. Owen county authorities say the murder of the negro Whitstone is the only one which has ever taken place in their county. Two of those charged with this murder were acquitted at a preliminary examination, and three others escaped from jail a week ago, though they afterward gave themselves up to the authorities, declaring they could prove an alibi. Their examination is set for to-morrow, and it iB thought they will be bound over. Owen county people assert that all eon-vurneu in run uuuuk uie .uuiidies ui the Federal army.

ADDITIONAL CITY NEWS. been Is or the Plains. The Atheneum was "stuffed" last night, and people were turned away. The Buffalo Bill party is a drawing card, which only needed the skillful advertising of the local management to insure the pecuniary harvest which flowed into the Treasurer's office. "Buffalo Bill, King of the Border Men," ia the title of the play produced. It it much more reasonable in Its construction as a play than the one which preceded it at the Atheneum, but of course its main features are displays, in the most sensational style, of thrilling scenes on the border. At produced with the aid of the three original Western heroes, it Is nndonbtedly the most exciting thing now on the stage tinder the name of drama. Mr. Cody (Buffalo Bill) exhibited a dra matic ability last night which hit audi tor! did not expect, and Texas Jack ex hibits bis native grace and dash behind the footlights. But to fully appreciate ths impressive character or Mr. Hickox (Wild Bill), you mutt meet bim face to face, experience his iron grasp, and listen to his quaint philosophy. The three men on the stage together made n splendid picture. , They were called before the cur- tain at the end of the third act, when Mr. Cody made a neat speech, closing with a remark to the effect that they would "get away" with tome more of the renegades in the next act which they did. Mr. Mteder, the author of the play, took a character very creditably, and Miss Rena Maeder, as Kitty Muldoon, was a decided success. In fact, all the ladies in the cast have been judiciously selected. The "Injun" business seems to us to be done principally by white men, but it uon t sutter a particle on that account. The extent of the "draw" the next two nights will probably be circumscribed only by the walls of the house, ,. People seem to be in love with that kind of theatricals ; we will not stop to reason as to the why of it. ; , Hndden Death; Joseph Owens. niulr uoliar wall known in Columbus for many years, died last night in Pat Williams't saloon on West State street. For three or fonr hours he had been sittinv chair, with his arms resting on a table, and his head on his arms. It was supposed that he wat in a stupor from drink. About one o'clock this morning an attempt was made to arouse him, but when he was lifted from his seat he fell to the floor without exhibiting a single sign of life. Dr. Gay was sent for and soon arrived. After brief examination, he pronounced the man dead. lie probably died while in a sitting position how long before the attempt to arouse him is of course not known. Owens was about fortyfour years old, and had been a resident of Columbus for twenty years or more. He was given to dissipation. His wife died some years ago, but ho had two daughters living, one ot them married. Tho Coroner was sent for, but at the lime or going to press had not hud time to empannel a jury. Insanity.
